Douluo: I Am Unrivaled Thief, Explosive King Returns

To make it up to him, Unrivaled Thief let him shop to his heart's content along the way.

Before they knew it, they arrived on the street where the Rose Hotel was located.

"Hey, boss, get rid of this and that one. Pack up everything else for me!"

Shifty-eyed Thief looked like a country bumpkin entering the city, curious about everything he saw.

He held such a huge pile of things that it blocked his vision, swaying unsteadily as he walked.

Suddenly, Unrivaled Thief narrowed his eyes and sensed two men and three women walking abreast ahead of Shifty-eyed Thief.

Shifty-eyed Thief collided with the two men and three women approaching from the opposite direction, sending all six of them sprawling onto the ground.

"Ow! Which blind bastard dared run into your Grandpa Ma?!"

Useless Grass Chicken, Beating the Colored Tiger

The toys in Shifty-eyed Thief's arms scattered all over the ground as a fat man on the other side climbed to his feet, cursing.

The fat man wore a fiery red fitted outfit, the flesh on his round face trembling.

He cursed nonstop, while his hands continued roaming over his female companion's ample curves.

Behind him, the golden-haired Dai Mubai rose to his feet with two female companions who looked as though they had been carved from the same mold in his arms.

He, too, glared at Shifty-eyed Thief with an unfriendly expression. A dignified Soul Elder like him had actually been knocked to the ground in the middle of the street.

It was not entirely his fault. He had just finished an intense battle with the twins, and all three of his legs were weak.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly tensed beneath the shadow of a distant tree, her purple eyes fixed firmly on Dai Mubai.

Because he was the person she had come looking for.

"You little runt, are you looking to die?"

Ma Hongjun's Soul Power surged, and two yellow Soul Rings rose beneath his feet.

Not to be outdone, Shifty-eyed Thief sprang straight up from the ground. "Fathead fish! You were obviously the one blocking the road!"

Before his words had even faded, two yellow hundred-year Soul Rings likewise rose beneath his feet.

"A Soul Grandmaster?!" Dai Mubai narrowed his wicked eyes, his gaze passing over Shifty-eyed Thief before landing on Unrivaled Thief.

"How is that possible? I actually sensed a threat from that young man!"

He stretched out an arm to stop Ma Hongjun from charging forward and said gravely, "Your man ran into my companion. Shouldn't he apologize?"

Unrivaled Thief chuckled. "The five of you are walking side by side. No street would be wide enough for you to hog it all. Shouldn't you be the ones apologizing?"

He casually glanced at Ma Hongjun, killing intent stirring in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing the confrontation turn tense, the pedestrians and street vendors hurriedly cleared an open space.

Yet none of them left, all eager to watch the excitement between Lord Soul Masters.

Ordinary people like them could normally only watch Soul Masters fight at the Great Soul Arena, and even then, they had to buy tickets.

Now they could watch it right in the street. How could they possibly miss such a chance?

Dai Mubai's expression darkened. He had not expected anyone in Suotuo City to dare deny Young Master Dai his due respect.

"Very well. Then let's see whether you have the qualifications to make me apologize! White Tiger, possess me!"

A layer of intense white light suddenly erupted from his body. His bones crackled, his frame grew larger, white fur covered his hands, and sharp claws extended, transforming them into tiger paws.

Immediately afterward, three Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared beneath his feet, and surging Soul Power swept outward.

"A Soul Elder?" Shifty-eyed Thief raised an eyebrow. "There's actually such a genius in tiny Suotuo City. He has already surpassed the vast majority of people at Spirit Hall Academy!"

Using Dai Mubai's strength to bolster his own arrogance, Ma Hongjun pointed his nostrils at Shifty-eyed Thief. "See that? This is my Boss Dai, a level thirty-seven battle Soul Elder. If you know what's good for you, get on your knees and apologize to this young master at once!"

"Tch. What's there to be arrogant about over a mere Soul Elder? I've even beaten Soul Ancestors before. Would I be afraid of a pathetic Soul Elder?" Shifty-eyed Thief sneered, not taking Dai Mubai seriously at all.

He was not lying. He really had beaten a Soul Ancestor before.

Yet Ma Hongjun seized upon those words and incited him, "Boss Dai, he's looking down on you. You can tolerate that? If it were me, I'd have knocked him flat already!"

"That dead fat pig has quite the scheme." Unrivaled Thief sneered. "He wants to shift the trouble onto Dai Mubai. Looks like he learned plenty of such tricks from that old bastard Flender."

"Unfortunately, you calculated wrong."

Because from beginning to end, Unrivaled Thief's gaze had remained locked on that greasy fat face of his.

Bang!

The Explosive King martial soul possessed him in an instant, and a wild gale rose!

With an explosive boom beneath his feet, Unrivaled Thief vanished from where he stood as though he had used Teleportation.

Before anyone could react, his fist had already smashed into Ma Hongjun's face!

Pfft!

That fat face immediately caved in, teeth flew out, and blood sprayed wildly from his nose.

Ma Hongjun was sent flying like a ball, bouncing and rolling across the street with a series of heavy thuds.

With a dull boom, he slammed into the corner of a wall. His nose was crushed, his teeth broken, his eyes rolled white, and he fainted completely.

The street fell silent in an instant. No one had expected Unrivaled Thief to act so decisively.

"What speed!" Dai Mubai's pupils shrank as he instinctively took half a step back. "Fatty is a level twenty-seven Soul Grandmaster, yet he couldn't even withstand a single punch!"

Unrivaled Thief shook his fist, a mocking curve appearing at his lips. "You foul-mouthed trash, you dared stir things up but didn't dare admit it. Did you really think no one would notice your petty scheme?"

As he spoke, he walked toward Ma Hongjun step by step, making no attempt to conceal his killing intent.

Seeing that he clearly intended to kill, the onlookers all retreated to what they considered a safe distance.

"Stop!"

Seeing Unrivaled Thief's overwhelming killing intent, Dai Mubai stopped hesitating. The first Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up.

"First Soul Skill, White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Blinding golden light immediately burst from his mouth, forming a blazing beam that shot straight toward Unrivaled Thief's back!

"Boss, watch out!" Shifty-eyed Thief had not expected Dai Mubai to attack so suddenly. Unable to stop him in time, he could only shout a warning.

Yet Unrivaled Thief seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. With a flash, he shifted several meters to the side.

The light wave grazed past his ear and exploded on the street, sending shattered stones flying everywhere!

"That's all? Even when given the chance, you still couldn't make it count." Unrivaled Thief slowly turned around, staring coldly at Dai Mubai with a mocking smile.

Dai Mubai's face darkened, wariness flashing through his wicked eyes.

"This guy's speed is actually faster than my White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Ding!

At that moment, the system's notification sounded in Unrivaled Thief's mind.

System mission triggered!

Mission One: Beat up Dai Mubai. (Reward: Zhu Zhuqing's favorability +20%)

Mission Two: Settle the matter peacefully. (Reward: Cowardly as a Rat title, brothers turn against you)

Unrivaled Thief raised an eyebrow and sneered inwardly. Interesting. Has the system finally had enough of this?

His gaze covertly swept toward the faint silhouette beneath the distant tree shadows.

"Are you sure you want to fight me over that foul-mouthed fatty?" Unrivaled Thief's tone was chilling.

Two yellow and one purple Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet, and the pressure of violent Soul Power swept forth!

"So he really is a Soul Elder! Still, his Soul Power Level should be lower than mine!"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Ma Hongjun might have a foul mouth, but he was still my companion.

These two are so young, yet they possess such strength. They must have a background. Rashly fighting to the death would be far from wise.

No, I need to make enough of a commotion to get the dean to act personally.

Seeing his troubled expression, Unrivaled Thief had already seen through him. Since I dared attack openly in Suotuo City, I naturally have the confidence to do so. A mere Soul Saint poses no threat to me!

His figure abruptly vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already before Dai Mubai!

"Overlord Wind-Chasing Fist!"

He threw a punch, and the air boomed!

Having witnessed his speed, Dai Mubai had long since prepared himself.

However, he had only recently enjoyed a passionate encounter, and his body was too weak to react in time. He could only hastily raise his arms to block.

With a bang, the violent force of the punch drove him back several steps, leaving both his arms numb!

Such terrifying strength! Dai Mubai was shocked inwardly.

But proud as he was, he refused to admit defeat before so many eyes.

"Third Soul Skill, White Tiger Adamant Transformation!"

Golden light enveloped his body as it swelled once more, his strength and speed rising instantly.

Dai Mubai roared and shifted from defense to offense.

Yet Unrivaled Thief crushed him in both speed and strength. His figure flickered like Gui Mei, his fists roaring like thunder as every strike targeted a vital point!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, Dai Mubai had taken three punches in a row, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing's purple eyes trembled, and she was deeply shaken. He... he can actually suppress Dai Mubai?!

Unrivaled Thief twisted aside to evade the tiger claws, then accurately drove a punch into Dai Mubai's chin, producing a crisp crack of bone.

At once, Dai Mubai shot into the sky like a rocket.

Suppressing the intense pain, Dai Mubai quickly adjusted his posture in midair, trying to lock onto Unrivaled Thief on the ground.

"Earth-Splitting Style!" At that moment, Unrivaled Thief's low shout sounded beside his ear.

In the instant that followed, Unrivaled Thief fiercely drove a punch toward Dai Mubai's waist.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a gloomy voice rang through the street.

At the end of the street, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses swept toward them at high speed like an owl.

Four-Eyed Owl Flender

Unrivaled Thief ignored that gloomy voice, his fist continuing straight downward.

Dai Mubai sensed the aura of death. Driven by his instinct to survive, his Soul Power surged.

"Second Soul Skill, White Tiger Bodyguard Shield!"

Golden light immediately shot out from within his body, instantly forming a golden protective shield around him.

Unrivaled Thief sneered inwardly. The Earth-Splitting Style of the Overlord Wind-Chasing Fist is the ultimate expression of my strength. Even Yan, a level forty-eight Soul Ancestor, wouldn't dare take it head-on. Can a mere White Tiger Bodyguard Shield really keep you safe?

In the next instant, that utterly unadorned punch landed on Dai Mubai.

With a distinct crisp crack, spiderweb-like fractures suddenly spread across the spot where Dai Mubai's White Tiger Bodyguard Shield had been struck.

Bang!

The golden light exploded, fragments scattering in every direction.

That punch struck solidly against his spine, and the sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

"Argh!"

Dai Mubai's pupils contracted as agonizing pain shot from his back through all four limbs.

The terrifying impact bent his entire body in half, the back of his head nearly touching his heels, before he crashed down from the sky toward the street like a meteor.
